THE BEAR presents: COLD - Stories about breaking the ice
### **THE BEAR** presents: **COLD**
*A night of true, personal storytelling*
Winter has a way of showing us where warmth is missing — and where it suddenly appears.
This month at **THE BEAR**, we explore the theme COLD: stories about distance and closeness, breaking the ice, emotional frost, quiet loneliness, or jumping into cold water — literally or metaphorically.
On stage, everyday people from Berlin share true, personal stories, told live and without notes. No acting. No fiction. Just real experiences, shared in a warm, cozy atmosphere.
You don’t need to know anyone.
You don’t need to be “into storytelling.”
**Just come, listen, and be part of the room.**
**🔥 What to expect**
• 8 short, true stories (about 5–7 minutes each)
• Live music throughout the night
• A relaxed, welcoming audience
• Laughter, honesty, and moments of quiet connection
**We start as strangers — and often leave feeling a little closer.**
**🎤 Want to tell a story?**
Anyone can put their name into our legendary hat. Names are drawn at random — courage counts more than experience. If you’d like feedback on your story beforehand, just write to us.
hello(at)thebear-storytelling.de
**💬 Language note**
Stories are told in English (and sometimes German).
**Everyone is welcome — listeners and storytellers alike.**
**If winter feels cold, let’s warm up together.**
**We’d love to have you there 🐻✨**

Meet Your Creative Monsters
Creative Block Lab . Small artist cohort in Berlin (limited spots)
Hi everyone,
I’m a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist currently based in Berlin, and I’m starting a small in-person cohort for artists who feel stuck, blocked, or disconnected from their work.
Over the past years, while making my last film, I went through a long and difficult creative block. In that process, I began researching the emotional and psychological patterns that stop artists from creating. I call them creative monsters, forces like perfectionism, comparison, fear, shame, or paralysis.
Creative Block Lab is a small, intimate space where we explore those patterns together and slowly reconnect with the impulse to make honest, authentic art.
This is not a technical workshop and not a productivity bootcamp.
It’s a reflective, human-centered space for artists of any medium.
Format
This is a 3-session cohort (same group each time), designed to build trust and continuity.
Each session (1.5–2 hours) includes:
• Short introductions and check-in
• A guided reflection on one or two creative “monsters”
• Practical tools or small mindset shifts
• A 30-minute creation exercise
(you can bring something you’re already working on, or just experiment with simple materials provided)
• Group sharing and integration
The intention is to:
• reconnect with your artistic voice
• reduce the pressure to be perfect
• create in a supportive, non-judgmental space
• leave with practical tools you can use in your daily practice
Who it’s for
Artists of any discipline:
• visual arts
• writing
• music
• performance
• film
• or any experimental/undefined practice
No experience level required.
What matters most is honesty and willingness to explore.
Important note
Because the group is intentionally small (around 10 people), there’s a short application form.
This isn’t about selection based on skill or prestige, it’s just to keep the group size intimate and make sure the space feels right for everyone.
There are only a few spots left for this first cohort.
If it resonates with you, you can apply here:

There will also be free and donation based workshops for Day Clubbers. Feel free to suggest program and topics.

PEACES: A framework for practical sustainanbility
**A practical approach to understanding, creating and maintaining balance across 6 dimensions of sustainability.**
A talk and workshop by Scott Bolden, co-founder of Baumhaus Berlin.
What does it mean to live a sustainable life while contributing to creating a sustainable society and world? What are some practical and effective ways in our daily life to achieve these objectives in the short and long term?
**PEACES is an acronym** describing six integrated areas of sustainability (**Personal, Ecologic, Aesthetic, Cultural, Economic & Social**) where we as individuals as well as organizations can have direct and positive impact on ourselves each other and the world right now.
During this short workshop, Scott will explain the framework and give practical examples in the context of how the framework applies to what happens in everyday life. Participants of all levels of experience are invited to join in the conversation and also identify some practical steps that they can start taking on their path towards living a sustainable life.
• Please arrive early enough to have time to explore and settle in so we can get the most out of our time together
• Bring a notebook and an open mind...
Workshop places are limited, please confirm participation with a short email to info@baumhausberlin.de with the subject: PEACES
Donate-as-you-feel after the workshop (includes coffee, tea & snacks)
We ask participants to consider:
• their personal budget
• the value of their experiences during the workshop in the Baumhaus
• the value of supporting the Baumhaus so that we can continue facilitating these and various other types of experiences

Impro Theater
„Die haben das doch vorher geübt!“ Wer sich schon einmal Impro-Shows angesehen hat, kann es oft nicht glauben, dass die Geschichten, die Verwicklungen, die Pointen oder auch die Lieder tatsächlich im Moment des Spielens entstanden sind. Sind sie aber!
Wir spielen seit über einem Jahr zusammen, sind darüber eine Gruppe geworden - die Spontansen - und treten ab und zu auf. Wer schon etwas länger Erfahrung im Improtheater mitbringt, kann gerne vorbei kommen, reinschnuppern, vielleicht dabei bleiben…bitte vorher anmelden unter [Fabianherrmann1979@proton.me](mailto:Fabianherrmann1979@proton.me)
Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis.
Wir entdecken spielerisch, achtsam und mit viel Spaß die Welt des Impro-Theaters.

The Mindful Artist's Way: Writing From Within
The Mindful Artist's Way is suitable for anyone who wants to write — without pressure, comparison, or the need for perfection. For anyone who wants to discover their own voice or reconnect with it.
This workshop series treats your writing as a mindful and relationship-oriented process. Each session is an invitation to dive deeper into your own perception, voice, and creativity — without pressure to perform, without comparison, without right or wrong.
The focus is on writing as a mindful practice: slow, embodied, and connected. Instead of technique, performance, or optimization, it’s about perception, inner security, and the relationship to your own voice.
Each workshop is self-contained and at the same time part of a larger journey. Step by step, you are invited to build trust: in yourself, in your writing, and in the creative process.
The series is inspired by the mindful and artistic approaches of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, but follows its own path: gentle, individual, and realistic. Get to know your writing as a partner rather than just a product.
What to bring: All you need is your laptop or whatever else you want to write on. I have pens, paper, tea, and vegan cake for you. If you like, bring your headphones, because I’ve created an exclusive writing playlist for you.
You can also book the **sessions individually (€15)**

* Formulate an individual development strategy, including open calls, residencies, independent projects, and sustainable monetisation pathways

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for February is "Transitions"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Fun Friday: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT at Lennox Phoenix Theater!
Join us for something different as we get together to see EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT! While researching his 2022 film, director Bas Luhrmann came across and compiled rare and previously unseen interviews and videos of Elvis in concert to create “one of the most exciting concert films you’ve ever seen!” Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Part documentary, part concert film, the latest from director Bas Luhrmann is a follow-up to his 2022 film starring Austin Butler. While researching the film, he came across 68 boxes of previously unseen interviews, concert performances and outtakes from previous films. A combination of offstage and onstage Elvis, comes a film that “befits the magnitude of Elvis as a performer but also offers deeper revelations of his humanity and inner life." It is written/directed by Baz Luhrmann (ELVIS, MOULIN ROUGE, THE GREAT GATSBY) and stars the legendary Elvis Presley!
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k
BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: The film screened at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival where it was the runner up in the category People’s Choice Award for Documentaries. Next Best Picture says, “Certain to energize longtime fans and generate new ones for generations to come, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is a masterwork of montage.” And according to the NY Post, whether you have a room in the house devoted to Elvis or not, this truly “Epic” concert film is an energizing experience!”
PLAN: We’ll plan for a pre-show bite at nearby BRAVO around 5 or 5:30pm followed by a 7pm-ish showing on one of their larger screens. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Please list your seat number in the Comments below. Exact showtime and meeting details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
